About this map

Richland sits at the western edge of this survey where Keokuk, Jefferson, and Washington counties converge in southeastern Iowa. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Skunk River and its numerous tributaries, including Richland Cr, Honey Cr, and Dutch Cr. The rural character of the region is punctuated by small settlements like Rubio and Veo, connected by a grid of numbered roads that follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System.

Genealogical interest is high given the density of burial sites such as Highland Cem, Friends Cem, and Evergreen Cem. The southeastern portion of the map features Lake Darling, a significant water body situated within the local landscape. The presence of these numerous small cemeteries, including Ann Gowey Cem and McDowell Cem, offers a look at the scattered pioneer and family-based settlement patterns that persisted in these rural townships.
